Pics of Natalie Portman, Jason Bateman and Dustin Hoffman from MR. MAGORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIUM!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now, this flick... MR. MAGORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIUM would hold very little interest based solely on the premise... The basic premise is a young, awkward manager of the biggest Toy Store in the world is given ownership of the store by the 200 plus year old owner. When that happens, something dark happens to the store.
However, the talent involved leads me to believe we could have a really sweet and smart family film come November '07.
Not even looking at the talent in front of the camera, the flick is written and directed by a man named Zack Helm, who wrote STRANGER THAN FICTION, which is one of the best movies of '06. If he put a quarter of the hug-a-bility into Portman's character in this one that he did for Maggie Gyllenhaal in FICTION, then I'm going to be a mess.
In front of the camera, you have Natalie Portman, who just keeps getting more and more gorgeous, as well as Dustin Hoffman (just screened a 16mm theatrical trailer for STRAW DOGS that I have last night and it worked as a reminder of just how fucking great Hoffman is... we're lucky he's still with us and putting out great work... his characters in PERFUME and FICTION are fantastic) and Jason Bateman. I'm a recent convert to ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and am so thankful that Bateman got another shot at a career. I think we'll only benefit from his work.
Anyway, there are 5 pics, from KINO-GOVNO.com. The second image down I saw in Entertainment Weekly a little while ago, but the other 4 are new to me. Enjoy!

Yall!

Had to do it

Droogie Alex beat me to the punch by 1 second!

...or maybe it's that I get more and more drunk. Either way, that is one hot dude. I think I came here to talk about a movie or something too. Oh yeah, those are cool pictures. I like the 'candy-coated' color scheme. I'm still getting a Willy Wonka vibe from this project, but hopefully it'll be able to distinguish itself. It's got a good pedigree in its favor, although first-time directors are always a question mark.

4 times and counting

"Toys"(Barry Levinson dir, 1992) is by far the most visionary film I've ever seen...so if this movie is anywhere near that, and has the great writing from Stranger Than Fiction, I definately can't wait.
-
from such films as: "The Fantabulous Contraption of Professor Horatio Huffnagel"
-
how sad those 'first' fags really are.
-
...If 'Toys' is the most visionary film you've ever seen, I would suggest moving to a town that has a video store. Or you could get cable. Or you might consider taking a walk outside. You're welcome.

Damn you Michael Bay
-
I laughed so hard my tummy hurt. Too bad the feature that followed (Home Alone 2, or 1 perhaps - same bloke, different haircut) also wasn't as funny as the Toys trailer. Robin Williams did good trailer back then..
-
is fine. Also the rest of the people involved, like the article mentions, is fine. But Portman, damn, Portman is FINE.
-
if you see Natalie Portman on the internet in the morning.
-
on WEED. Hoffman looks stoned in that second photo. Guess no titties in this ... : (
-
of Willie Wonka? What possible similarities are there? Besides about everything.

It's awesome Bateman is getting more work because of AD
by the wrong guy
He fracking deserves it, in spite of Teen Wolf 2.
-
Nice way to start off the day.
-
Anyone familiar with Slavic languages should be able to interpret what the name of that website actually means. Hilarious.
-
i'm so there...
-
They sure like to cast him as some sort of sidekick lawyer, businessman, accoutant, etc.
-
So what does it mean?
-
is playing Michael Bluth again. Oh well, long live AD!

How did they de-age Will Wheaton in that Cowboy hat pic
by sydbarretsmydad
....or, wait...is that Natalie Portman??
-
Caught Rainman the other night flipping through the box.
One of the all time greatest performances ever.
Portman - mono dimensional. -
is my girlfriend. true story.
-
he deserves a good solid career after AD. Although meaty roles in indie films would be good, too.
-
Also I fear this film will suck.
Please grow your hair back Nat. Also make some good films like you used to when you made ... erm ...er ... Leon? ...In fact don't bother making any more films. Thanks. Bye then. -
... DUDE! They could shave Natalie Portman's head BALD and she'd STILL be drop-dead beautiful! ... Oh yeah... they already DID do that... and she was still a babe!
-
Yes, "Toys" is by far the most extrordinary films Ive seen...but so is Cremaster 3, Koyaanisqatsi, Akira Kurasawa's Dreams, the Cell, Dark Crystal, 2001, City Of Lost Children, Amelie, Fight Club, etc.
I'm still not sure what genre this film is going to be. What do they mean "when things turn dark"?
-
Right!?!
-
Yes, indeedy.
-
Hey there. Pretty sure 'kino govno' translates to 'shit cinema'.

with williams..MEH...
